TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – The construction of the Tallahassee Southside Transit Center, which was expected to be completed by the end of 2025, is now behind schedule, according to previous reporting.
The transit center broke ground in April 2024 and is being built on the northwest corner of Orange Avenue and Meridian Street, per the city of Tallahassee website. City officials said in January 2025 that construction was on track with crews working on electrical and stormwater infrastructure, per previous reporting.
City of Tallahassee spokesperson Alison Farris said that while the construction is not completed, there was still plenty of work done in 2025. The building’s frame can be seen taking shape in a video posted on the City of Tallahassee YouTube channel in September 2025.

“Construction timelines are fluid and dependent on a lot of factors, but as you can see from the video, a tremendous amount of construction progress occurred in 2025,” Farris said.
The new Tallahassee Southside Center is expected to be a hub for the city’s bus system. According to previous reporting, the project is worth $30 million and expected to bring 226 jobs.
Tallahassee City Commissioner Curtis Richardson said in previous reports that people on the Southside who used public transportation were forced to travel long distances to the main transit hub downtown at C.K. Steele Plaza. He said this new center would make it easier and quicker for those Southside community members to reach their destination.
